The company will feature Gretchen Hall (Elizabeth), John Horton (Lord Porteous), Marsha Mason (Lady Catherine Champion-Cheney), James J. O’Neil (Butler), Bryce Pinkham (Edward Luton), Christina Rouner (Mrs. Shenstone), Marc Vietor (Arnold Champion-Cheney), and Paxton Whitehead (Lord Champion-Cheney).
